“Your support and commitment to showcasing diverse talents make a significant impact on the arts community. The experience has been invaluable, and we are grateful for the exposure and connections it has brought our way.”
Take Root is a monthly curated series that supports dance makers by providing an opportunity to present a paired evening of work. The impact Jeeno Joseph Nadanam Collective made on audiences last week was profound.
Today we are shining a spotlight on Jeeno and his experience at Take Root.
Jeeno Joseph Nadanam Collective’s work explores Bharatanatyam. An Indian classical dance from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. “As a first generation Malayali - American born to parents who emigrated from Kerala to New York, I’ve often felt a lack of representation for the Malayalam language within the Bharatanatyam repertoire. Through this work I hope to explore the beauty of Malayalam musical compositions, poetry, culture and rhythms through the traditional Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam.”
“It was an honor to be a part of such a beautiful event, and I am truly appreciative of the platform you provided for our performance.”
